The North Carolina Board of Dietetics/Nutrition (NCBDN) is a regulatory state agency. Its members are appointed by the Governor, the Speaker of the House and the President Pro Tempore of the Senate. Members serve a three year term. The responsibility of the NCBDN is to protect the citizens of North Carolina from harmful nutrition practice by providing for the licensure of qualified professionals. The goal of the North Carolina Dietetic Association (NCDA) is to promote optimal nutrition and well being for the public by supporting the profession and empowering its members. Most NCDA Board members are elected to one year terms. The NCDA is able to lobby for changes in laws that impact the profession.
